In their culture it is common for men to rape the daughters of the girlfriend. It's likely the perp was living with the girl and the mom.
Now that a suspect has been arrested, there are even more questions. For example, why did the Columbus Police Department sit on the report of the rape of a child for three weeks? According to the police report (obtained by Megan), a police report was generated on June 22 but the rapist was not arrested until July 12, one day after the story went national with appearances by Megan and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Fox News. Were they working the case or was there some other reason? The perpetrator may have actually been living with (or at least near) the victim until his arrest. We don’t know for sure, but the scene of the crime was Fuentes’s apartment and his lawyer told the judge at a hearing on Wednesday that Fuentes “had an address where he could live that was not at the same location as the 10-year-old,” according to The Columbus Dispatch. Note the use of the word “could”—the suspect could live separate from the victim but perhaps was not at the time of the arrest.
I believe that the story you linked is wrong about the police report. There was no police report made on June 22. The "report" was the mother going to the welfare department to get more welfare. This has been reported over and over again and people jumped on that "report" as if it meant that the mother reported the rape.
The mother did NOT report it as a rape; she said on Telemundo that everything said about Fuentes is a lie and that he did not rape her daughter.

What we know is that the mother went to child welfare on June 22, supposedly the date that the police report was filed. It is possible that the child welfare department and the police failed to follow the law and begin a joint investigation within 24 hours of learning of the rape but I don't think that's what happened. If it had, then why was the AG not able to find any evidence of the rape until it went on national TV. I will believe there's a police report when I see an official, sworn, police report.
